Sky Fighters (Les chevaliers du ciel ) is a 2005 French action film starring Benoît Magimel and Clovis Cornillac as French Air Force pilots who uncover a conspiracy that involves terrorists stealing fighters. Directed by Gérard Pirès, the film is based on the French children's series Les chevaliers du ciel ("The Knights of the Sky"), which was based on the comic series Tanguy et Laverdure, although the character names are different. The film could be described as France's answer to Top Gun, as the production was granted full cooperation with the French Air Force. Unlike Top Gun, where most of the filming of the pilots was done on a soundstage, the actors in this film actually were filmed while flying in the actual jets. The majority of the aerial battles also were done with specially designed camera pods fitted to the Mirage 2000 fighters.
